PURPOSE:To enable stable supply of an ink and facilitate replacement of the ink by providing an ink supply vessel having an opening opposite to a part of an ink support carrier sheet, and an ink immersed body being contained in said vessel with a part thereof projecting out of the opening of the vessel and being exposed made of a foaming body to produce continuous bubbles or felt material. CONSTITUTION:An ink supply vessel 21 has an opening 21a pored at the middle part of its upper wall, while its bottom is pushed up by the upper end of an elastic body 24 such as a compressed coiled spring, etc., and the lower end thereof is fixed to a stable base 23. Within the supply vessel 21, a foaming body which produces continuous bubbles or an ink immersing material such as felt is stored, and an adequate amount of ink is immersed and held therein. A part of the material 22 is protruded out to some extent from the opening 21a of the vessel 21, forming a contact part 22a. Said contact part 22a keeps contact with the lower surface of the ink carrying sheet 3 being pushed up by the tention of the resilient body 24. |
